  1. Calculations of amount of thrust required to generate enough exhaust velocity for mass of assembly (orbiter + fuel tank) to surpass escape velocity to break from earth gravity.
  2. Amount of fuel required as a function of its rate of combustion based on design of main engines.
  3. Dimensioning fuel tank to contain above amount of fuel
